Langburkersdorf Castle

Langburkersdorf Castle, located at the western entrance to the village, has a history with many changes of ownership. In 1423, the manor was first mentioned as belonging to Leuthold von Luttitz, district governor of Hohnstein. Georg von Wehse acquired the house in Burkersdorf in 1564. In 1584, the building burned down. In 1611, a new house was built on the same site. It was surrounded by a pond. In 1870, Baron von Stieglitz bought the castle and used it as a hunting lodge. In 1906, King Friedrich August visited the castle. In 1925, the entire estate was sold to the Landesversicherung Sachsen. After major structural changes, they established a retirement home there. The manor supplied the Hohwaldklinik with agricultural products. During the 1930s and 40s, it was a convalescent home. Between 1947 and 1966, the castle was used for the follow-up treatment of tuberculosis patients from the Hohwaldklinik.

In 1966, the "District Council" became the owner. In 1981, a renovation of the castle began. The exterior facade was renewed in 1991. In 1992, the estate passed to the Landesversicherungsanstalt, and in 1997 it was sold to Schloss-Park-Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH. In 2000, the municipality of Hohwald acquired the castle and the property. Since the incorporation of Hohwald in 2007, the castle has belonged to the city of Neustadt in Sachsen.
